Market19 Feb 2029

Nathan Yavorsky hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what FC Versailles can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

A defender's goal wins it for FC Versailles — 7.68

1 for Rafik Messali, marked 7.68, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

The dugout19 Feb 2029

Jawed Kalaï frozen out at FC Versailles

This is not rotation. Jawed Kalaï has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at FC Versailles is pretending otherwise.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Words exchanged at FC Versailles

Nathan Yavorsky and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad19 Feb 2029

A row about effort at FC Versailles

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Djamal Moussadek was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets19 Feb 2029

FC Versailles rebuffed over Joshua Frau

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sochaux have kept their man, and FC Versailles go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match17 Feb 2029

FC Versailles see off FC Fleury 91

Three points for FC Versailles, 1‑0 the final word against FC Fleury 91 in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad19 Feb 2029

FC Versailles are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

Francis Coquelin was the difference for FC Versailles

Marked 7.69. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

Bamo Meïté will not be coming to FC Versailles

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Olympique de Marseille is saying, and nobody at FC Versailles is enjoying the guessing.

Market12 Feb 2029

Nathan Yavorsky is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at FC Versailles is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market12 Feb 2029

Jhon Palacios puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FC Versailles, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout12 Feb 2029

Ryan Tchato frozen out at FC Versailles

This is not rotation. Ryan Tchato has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at FC Versailles is pretending otherwise.

Player ratings12 Feb 2029

A defender's goal wins it for FC Versailles — 7.90

1 for Djamal Moussadek, marked 7.90, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

Amine Harit stays at Olympique de Marseille as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. FC Versailles will try again when the window opens; Olympique de Marseille may not be selling by then.

Squad12 Feb 2029

A falling-out at FC Versailles

Nathan Yavorsky and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

SM Caen tell FC Versailles: Kyliane Lentin is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Words at FC Versailles training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Djamal Moussadek is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Cédric Odzoumo breaks a bone — 16 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 16 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market5 Feb 2029

Jorge Silva puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FC Versailles, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets5 Feb 2029

Amine Harit is a medical away from FC Versailles

The deal with Olympique de Marseille is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

The dugout5 Feb 2029

Jhon Palacios keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” FC Versailles may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom5 Feb 2029

FC Versailles close the window on a squad of their own making

2 in and 5 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Market5 Feb 2029

Only the photograph left for Norvin Mukiele

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Norvin Mukiele will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around FC Versailles the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Nathan Yavorsky in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Versailles this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets5 Feb 2029

Paris Saint-Germain tell FC Versailles: Bakoutoubo Dramé is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad5 Feb 2029

A row about effort at FC Versailles

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Djamal Moussadek was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The Fortaleza CEIF Herald

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad29 Nov 2027

The knee: Jhonier Salas out for 64 days

64 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Fortaleza CEIF lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Jhon Velásquez breaks a bone — 144 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 144 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market29 Nov 2027

Jhon Palacios hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Fortaleza CEIF can pretend not to have heard.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Andrés Arroyo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Jhon Solís frozen out at Fortaleza CEIF

This is not rotation. Jhon Solís has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Fortaleza CEIF is pretending otherwise.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Fortaleza CEIF

Jhonier Salas was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Loan watch29 Nov 2027

Juan Sebastián Arias has seen enough of Tigres

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Fortaleza CEIF, and 0 appearances in 21 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Franco Pulicastro has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Fortaleza CEIF will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Jéferson Medina knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Jéferson Medina trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
